From this and the description about loading uImage with a bdi, I take it
that your filesystem is an initramfs embedded in the uImage?

It would be interesting to check if your problem relates to the uImage
growing to a specific size (E.G. add some data files to the working
build instead).

What address are you loading the uImage to? It sounds like the
decompressor perhaps ends up overwriting itself.
